Richard Diebenkorn

Edición de la obra Richard Diebenkorn

"Richard Diebenkorn (1922-1993) is celebrated as an American master in his native United States, particularly on the West Coast, where he lived and worked for much of his career. Highly sensitive to his environment, Diebenkorn used a palette and color composition influenced by the light and location of the environments in which he worked. Whether abstract or figurative, his paintings powerfully evoke the varied locations of his studios, including the desert of New Mexico and the California coast from San Francisco to Los Angeles. This volume explores his ever-changing, always-compelling output across four decades, as well as his shifts in style and subject matter in both painting and drawing. It covers the three distinct periods of his artistic life, which started when he gained recognition for his abstract works in the early 1950s. He then turned his attention to figurative painting, and finally, in 1967, he embarked on a long and highly successful period of abstract paintings and drawings, titled the Ocean Park series"--Jacket.
